CHAPTER 4 READER-ENTERPRISE PROTOCOL

Communication Protocol

Overview

Commands can be issued to the Reader in one of three ways:

• Serial Communication

• Network Communication

• Web Based Interaction

Serial Communication

Commands can be issued to the Reader using a direct Serial connection

from a computer to the Reader. The following settings are required for the

Serial communication:

Baud Rate : 115200

Data Bits : 8

Stop Bits : 1

Parity : None

Flow Control: None

Network Communication

Commands can be issued to the Reader over the Internet or Intranet. The

Reader is equipped with a standard Ethernet port allowing it to be physically

connected to a network. By default the Reader will use DHCP to wake up

and join a network. If DHCP is not available on the network, the Reader can

be network configured via Serial communication.

By default the Reader will listen to incoming commands over port 23, the

standard Telnet port.

Web Based Communication

The Reader contains a built in Web-server that allows all aspects of the

Reader to be controlled and configured via web pages served up by the

Reader. This web server operates on the standard port 80 used by most web

servers.
